Binding: HardcoverDewey Decimal Number: 792 EAN: 9780789315663 ISBN: 0789315661 Label: Universe Manufacturer: Universe Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 160 Publication Date: June 03, 2008 Publisher: Universe Release Date: June 03, 2008 Studio: Universe Editorial Review: Product Description: A front-row seat for the hottest show in town–Broadway’s finest strip down for a good cause. This is your ticket behind the scenes to see Broadway’s sexiest performers displaying some of their greatest assets. Gorgeous stage idols from the biggest shows strut their stuff as you’ve never seen them before. It’s burlesque naughtiness lit up by the razzle-dazzle of the Great White Way. They tease, they titillate, they tantalize. And boy, do they deliver the goods. By the end of each number they’re wearing little more than a smile. But at the end of the show comes the real payoff; hundreds of thousands of dollars have been raised for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, the theatre community’s unique fundraising and grantmaking organization. Backstage Pass peeks behind the curtain at the famous event called Broadway Bares– conceived by Tony Award®—winning director and choreographer Jerry Mitchell–which sets New York City ablaze each summer. The hottest dancers in show business come together for this one-night-only sold-out “Strip-A-Thon”–a fundraising, eye-popping spectacle the likes of which Gypsy Rose Lee could never have dreamed. Now for the first time this luxurious keepsake album brings together all the sizzling posters, scintillating backstage shots, and scorching on-stage photographs from the past seventeen years of Broadway Bares. Sit back and enjoy the show. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A DisappointmentMitchell, Jerry. "Backstage Pass" Broadway Bares", Universe, 2008. A Disappointment Amos Lassen I looked forward to "Backstage Pass" as I have always supported Broadway Cares but this time I was disappointed. Advertised as "part-portrait, part photo documentary, this vividly captivating book is an unblinking study of the sexiest stars on Broadway covered in almost nothing but the footlights". That may well be true but the photographs are way below the quality I expected and all ...

This fun, frivolous, delicious book memorializes this wonderful event with photos, front and back stage, of some very, very nice looking men. Some are still. However, some are not; capturing the hectic, frantic, ecstatic goings-on of this spirited and campy event. Sure you can say its arty--but its silly arty--not the least bit pretentious. ...

The verbiage leads one to think it is full frontal nude with genitalia, but then there's a couple of keywords suggesting "No, it's a tease"... I wish they would straight out say one way or the other. Rating: - greathad trouble with the first book being damaged and within a day of mentioning it i had another one sent to me Rating:  - Poor quality photos for this expensive bookFor what looked like it was going to be a fantastic look at backstage antics, nudity and actors baring it all, it is a HUGE disappointment. The quality of the photos is sub-par, less than desirable, sort of that hazy "artistic" look that actually is so unclear that often you don't know what the subject is. HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED, am returning the book right away for a refund...this the first time I've ever returned something to Amazon in over 10 years of using their service. |
